topic found 'bug' in Final grade calculations in PowerSchool Assessment & Analytics Forumhttps://help.powerschool.com/t5/PowerSchool-Assessment-Analytics/found-bug-in-Final-grade-calculations/m-p/5523#M63
<P>There is a bug in the calculations of the Final Grade.&nbsp; We have setup our first semester grade to be 45% first quarter, 45% second quarter, and 10% midterm.&nbsp; The setup for that grade is fine and calculates correctly.&nbsp; Then we set up our Final grade to be 37.5% 1st semester, 37.5% 2nd semester, and 25% final exam.&nbsp; On the surface that looks correct, but when I click on the arrow to expand the 1st semester grade (within the final grade category), I find that the %'s are all equal; this lets the Midterm count in the final grade for more than we intended.&nbsp; I have editted the %'s of the weights for 1st semester to be 16.875, 16.875, and 3.75 and there is a definite difference in final grade.&nbsp; How do I report this to Power School?&nbsp; I can't find anywhere that lets me submit an error report.&nbsp; Please see image below for more info.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="s1 expanded in f1 category.png" style="width: 766px;"><img src="https://help.powerschool.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/3301i9FA33C09053D2B75/image-size/large?v=1.0&amp;px=999" title="s1 expanded in f1 category.png" alt="s1 expanded in f1 category.png" /></span></P>Tue, 13 Mar 2018 14:45:04 GMTjeankoehler2018-03-13T14:45:04Zfound 'bug' in Final grade calculationshttps://help.powerschool.com/t5/PowerSchool-Assessment-Analytics/found-bug-in-Final-grade-calculations/m-p/5523#M63
